'Black Sox' Scandal Headline

Frontpage headline of the New York Times newspaper describing the so-called 'Black Sox' scandal in which players of the American League's Chicago White Sox threw the World Series reads 'Eight White Sox players are indicted on charge of fixing 1919 World Series; Cicotte got $10,000 and Jackson $5,000. Comiskey suspends them; Promises to run them out of baseball if found guilty,' September 29, 1920. Inset headline reads 'Yankee owners give praise to Comiskey and offer him use of their whole team.' Charles A. Comiskey was the owner of the White Sox. Pitcher Eddie Cicotte and left fielder 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson were popular and successful players involved in the scandal.
